WHERE: Walter Reed Army Medical Center, 7200 Georgia Ave., at Elder St., NW - ALL FOUR CORNERS OF THE INTERSECTION!
WHEN: 6:30pm until 10pm-ish
WHY: To show the wounded warriors and their families and friends at Walter Reed that mainstream Americans do care about them, appreciate greatly their sacrifice, and that we support them and their mission.
As always, the DC Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect.
Briefly, they are: No violence. No profanity. No racism. No provocations. Obey the law. Treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
On street parking is usually easy to find. Location is about 6 or 7 blocks from the Takoma metro station and is walkable, but it is best if you get a ride. If you want a ride, FReepmail tgslTakoma and BillF, preferably with your cell phone number as far in advance as possible. We'll do our best to arrange a ride from the Takoma Metro station for you.
It's going to be cold again tonight - around 30 degrees, with some wind (up to 10mph), so dress warmly. It will be too cold for pizza tonight, so if you can't grab a bite to eat on your way, maybe we can make a run to McDonalds up the street. I will have urns of hot coffee and hot water for cocoa, tea and decaf, to help keep us warm.
Please join us if you can.
A very last-minute DC Chapter ping...
We had the pleasure of meeting your son last week. Ask him if he'd like to recount for us on this thread, his experience "chatting" with the lefties last week.
Good luck & wish I could be with you BUMP!
how did it go at the Denmark embassy yesterday? if there was a thread, I missed it as I am not on a lot of ping lists...
Thanks to all you brave souls for your service to the troops. I'm sure they look forward to Friday nights!
Keep up your good work!
Is this every Friday night?
JoyjoyfromNJ drove down (from NJ) to stand with us, and I forgot to put her name in the Honor Roll.
Please accept my apologies, Joyjoy. My brain musta froze.
Thank you for "going the distance" for our wounded warriors!
BTTT

Stay warm tonight. We'll be cheering you on from Missouri.
As usual, I'm praying for the movement. This weekend is a washout, as I was asked to stand radio guard both days. No one stole the Potomac yet.
Want to drive the Loons absolutely NUTZ!!?? Send some sweet lady over to offer a warm scarf, an extra blanket and some hot Chocolate or Tea to the old lady in the wheel chair. Just because you don't want her at her age to get ill.
Oh yes,... be sure to offer the Police pulling duty on site a cup of hot coffee or chocolate too.
